The couple cannot trust their parents or extended families, and Romeo shuts out Mercutio and Benvolio from his thoughts. Juliet hasonly the Nurse to confide in, who is an even less reliable advisor.
When he first appears collecting plants on a hillside above Verona, he may seem a rather distracted and professorial figure. The Capulet family clearly trust him, 4.
She considers herself a grieving widow and has no vocation to be a celibate religious. Similarly, in 4. This is dramatically necessary to inform both the Monatague and Capulet families, as well as the Prince, of the full truth of the preceding events. As in 4. It is also an opportunity for Lawrence to spread the blame for those events on to others, before — only at the end — accepting any blame himself.
He then goes into the bare facts of his plan: the feigned death, reviving Juliet in his cell, and bringing Romeo back from Mantua, drawing first Friar John 5. He glosses over his final hasty plan, so his final acceptance of responsibility and plea for punishment arguably sounds less sincere 5.
This line, which eerily echoes Juliet 4. Friar Lawrence is not arrested and is not implicated in any of the deaths. He kisses Juliet, drinks the poison, kisses Juliet again, and dies. Just then, Friar Lawrence enters the churchyard. He encounters Balthasar, who tells him that Romeo is in the tomb. Friar can also be a manipulative and sneaky man. For example, he agrees to marry Romeo and Juliet without parental consent, so the feud between the Capulets and Montagues will end.
Friar Lawrence is a terrible mentor for his unacceptable choice of leaving Juliet in the tomb. She was not in a normal state of mind and he needed to realize that. Friar Lawrence is innocent for the deaths because he gave Juliet the potion to stop her from marrying Paris, he was trying to help them get married, and he intended for Romeo to know about the plan.
Friar John is held up in a quarantined house, and the message never reaches Romeo. Friar John replies that he was unable to deliver the letter because he was shut up in a quarantined house due to an outbreak of plague. However, he is held up en route, and never manages to get the letter to Mantua. Unaware of the importance of the letter, he does not use extreme measures to pass it on when he is stopped from entering Mantua for fear of the plague.
Friar Laurence is the one who is present when Juliet wakes up, and he has to break all of the bad news to her. What does he suggest she do?
Which two things will Friar Lawrence do? She was beginning to wake up from the potion. Where does Friar Laurence want to take Juliet? Romeo, in an act of revenge, killed Tybalt. The similarities don't have to be exact but it would be conveniant if the person on trial would have been aquitted. Fair enough: what about "whistle-blowers" in corporate or government organizations?
They all felt themselves "to be good and honest I cannot think of any specific examples, but a Google search gets almost 4 million hits. You would have to refine the search to eliminate many sites of a general nature. I like this better, myself. Good luck, Myoarin. I've always felt that the point about Friar Laurence is that he is an example of how anyone's best intentions can go horribly wrong - it's not a matter of real guilt or responsibilty, but rather the guilt that goes with not having seen "the big picture".
That's why Shakespeare writes in the extra priest who fails to get the message through to Romwo - sheer chance plays a part in the tragedy. And it's not marrying them that's the problem - it's the cover-up afterwards. No-one is truly innocewnt or guilty of the tragedy.
